Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0938199A2] In a digital broadcast receiver, receivable frequencies are calculated, a receiving unit (10) judges whether a broadcasting wave is present at each of the calculated frequencies, and frequencies at which the broadcasting wave is present are displayed on a display unit (40). The receivable frequencies can thus be displayed quickly. Thereafter, broadcast information is read from the receiving unit (10) relative to each of the frequencies at which the broadcasting wave is present. The broadcast information is displayed on the display unit (40). Broadcast information can thus be read relative only to the frequencies at which the broadcasting wave is present. The time required for displaying all the broadcast information is therefore shortened. <IMAGE>
